We have been going here with our lab for years. Recently she got sick and had some diarrhea. We handed her over to banfield. When they gave her back to us, she was covered in poop. They handed us some wet wipes and called it a day. This means she had been sitting in her own poop for a while. No one bothered to clean her up. My dog was pulling so hard on her leash trying to get out of there it was breaking my heart.

Dr. Losca has been great, thorough, informative & compassionate. I found the tiniest of kittens that had worms, was flee infested, and anemic. She devised a plan and after a few weeks our baby is on the road to recovery. We've named her Sofia because she's tough, just like her name sake in John Wick. We are very grateful for Banfield.

I love everyone at the pet hospital. They are so caring and knowledgeable. They answer all my questions, some before I ask. Georgie loves them too.

The vet and assistant were very nice and made me feel very comfortable with my dog Bo Bo who is very scared and aggressive toward strangers especially the vet. The vet took the time to help me and explained some reasons why Bo Bo was so scared and some excellent advice that could be helpful for future visits.

Horrible service. I have taken my dogs to Banfield for years. It's impossible to get an appointment on the weekends lately. One of my dogs had a very concerning oozing lump on his side that was growing rapidly and was about the size of a small bouncy ball. We had to wait 2 weeks to be seen. They scheduled for a drop off appointment and called minutes after dropping him off because they couldn't get him into a kennel. Admittedly, he has been difficult due to this lump, but we never had an issue before. We rescheduled for the following weekend and we're told that we should have given him medicine to sedate him prior to bringing him in, yet it was never mentioned and no medicine was provided. They refused to even look at his lump, couldn't get a needle in him to sedate him and made us reschedule yet again for another week out. I ended up having to take him to emergency at 1st Pet because he had an allergic reaction, and the lump had grown to the size of a soft ball. Found out the allergic reaction could be due to the lump, they removed the lump a few days later and we found out it was a Mast Cell tumor. Which is very cancerous. We could have saved precious time with our baby, his surgery may not have been so invasive if Banfield had just done thier jobs! 1st Pet was amazing and so calming for him. They did everything on his terms and for now he's as happy as can be and acts like nothing ever happened!
